Moved From: Clermont, in April of this year My Profession There: Front Desk Supervisor for four years at Westgate Resorts Friday Nights There: Fridays were spent mostly at work.

Why I Moved: I moved to Sarasota because I wanted a change in my career and a change in scenery. Now I Am: Systems Support Specialist at SouthTech. Friday Nights Now: My Fridays are spent mostly with my wife either cooking dinner, going to a movie or visiting the different local shops and restaurants in and around Sarasota. We have several favorite places that we often visit including Drunken Poets, Tandoor, India Palace, Cha Cha Coconuts and Pei Wei on University. 

First Impressions: My first impression of Sarasota was it was an older town with not much to do but as I ventured out and started visiting different areas, I saw that Sarasota is very vibrant and it offers different things whether you’re in an older age group or younger. Biggest Potential Community Mistake: There are some parts of Sarasota that are really beautiful, but if you drive one block down, there are abandoned buildings and places that aren’t well-kept. My Vision: I was given a chance by SouthTech Solutions to work as a Systems Support Specialist, where I am able to utilize my technical skills and grow as an individual. So with that experience I hope to someday be a Senior Systems Engineer.
